Birmingham Arouses in Its Might And

General News.
BIRMINGHAM, April 23.-The ebullition or
borough bubbling which has been agitating
this incorporated village reached the high
Fahrenheit point Saturday when the two
forces whose heated discussions and Journal
istic controversies have kept the borough
building on the bulletin for weeks met,
drew sabres, and settled the issue. The
afternoon was unpropitious for the disinter.

showed spirit that becomes more of the
residents Especially taxpayers) who do not
concern themselves personally in borough
politics and then grumble at the iuef6ciency
or rawness of an official. The question was
not the fire alarm, but the newly-projected
city edifce, and the vote was in favor of it.
The check list was made and Eyes" and emo"
ballots distributed The number of votes
cast was 800, and of these 225 were in the
affirmative. This settles the contest as it
would seem, although to many there is the
persuasion that the double-headed resolution
was deceptive in its construction and a legal
structure might be put thereon which would
make buyers of the bonds shaky as to the
authority for the issue or the obligations of
the borough.
A subscription paper has been circulated

therefore is made before the minister gets in
to his new quarters after conference adj

A DEADLY BLOW.

Farmer Daily of Bolton Under Arrest
Charged With Numbering His
Hired Man, A Member of The old
Ninth CIV.
HARTFORD, April 23.-Thomas DAILY of
Bolton is in the Tolland county Jail charged
with the murder of Thomas Murphy, his
hired man, on Thursday morning. The
tragedy was first brought to the attention of
the authorities by Daily himself, who called
at Dr. Summers residence in Bolton soon
after it occurred. The doctor was in Hart
ford, but on his return on Tuesday night
drove to Ca1y's house, in the south part of
the town. He found that Murphy's death
had resulted almost instantly from a blow
that had broken off the corner of his jaw
and SO indented his neck as to affect his
spine. The story that Daily first told to DR..
Sumner was that Murphy had fallen through
hole in the barn floor and struck his head
on the side of q manger. He thus accounted
for the bruise, but said that Murphy's death
resulted from a fit caused by his being hook
ed by an OK while he was ploughing in a lot
that forenoon. DIR. Sumner believed that
the blow was sufficient to cause death, and
that the man could not have gone into the
field to work after it.
These and other conflicting statements led
DIR. Sumner to suspect foul play, and yester-
day morning he telegraphed Coroner Phelps
at Rockville. The coroner, accompanied by
DIR. Rockwell, went to Bolton, and with DR..
Simmer investigated the case. An autopsy
of the dead man proved the theory of DR..
Summer that death resulted from heavy
blow. Daily protested his innocence, but
one of his neighbors, Oliver G. Johnson,
told the coroner that he saw the murder.
He says that Daily and his men were in the
field ploughing on Thursday forenoon, and
that he was there with them. At about II
o'clock a bolt gave way on the plough
and DAILY sent Murphy to the house for
monkey wrench. When the man returned
DAILY seized the wrench and with it struck
Murphy back-handed blow under his ear.
He fell senseless and died in few minutes.
Thomas Murphy, the murdered man, was
seventy-six years old. He had been in Days
employ about fortnight. He was q mem
Der of the Ninth regiment, Connecticut Vol
unteers.
DAILY is farmer and joiner, the son of
John DAILY of Gilead, and brother of Will
liam and Thomas DAILY, both of the latter be-
ing well known horsemen. Daily is said to
be by people of the town a man of ungov-
ernable temper and very quarrelsome.

Remarkably Cure of Lumbaso.

DENVER, Col. FeDTuary to, 1856.
For nearly six years I suffered greatly with
what the doctors called lumbago. I was IN
able to walk in that interval more than a few
steps at a time, or to rise from chair after
once sitting down, without assistance. A
friend urged me to give Allcock's Porous
Plasters trial, and he went and got some
for me and put them on my back. I felt
easier with them on than anything had ever
tried, and continued their use for nearly
three months, changing them every week,
until was absolutely cured-cured so that
from that day to this, nearly six months, !
have been able to work.

West River Strafghtening-A Puzzled
BOARD.

At meeting of the board of public works
Saturday night the board heard further
from City Engineer Hill and Sylv anus But
Ter on the controversies as to the proper
building of the remaining portion of the
boulevard sewer, after which it was decided,
after a statement from Mr.. States, to take
legal advice as to the power of the board to
order the further Strengthening of West river
and build the rest of the sewer. There
seemed to be some doubt whether the board
could legally go ahead in the case without
an order of approval from the city of New

NEW YORK. April %
There was very material decrease in the trad
ing in stocks to-day. Apparently the recent sellers
disinclned to carry their reactionary tactics
any further, while there disposition the
part of the bulls advance prices. In consequence
there was q pause in the contest, but at the same
time prices improved slightly. The limited specu-
lation centred chiefly in Reading and Union Pacific.
The former was first point of activity and strong
in connection with positive reports of progress
ward settlement with the holders of the first Sc.
ries bonds. Union Pacific was again the strongest
feature of the marke.. and it scored the only i'm
portant net gain. The alliance between this COM
pany and the Oregon companies will doubtless be
formally consummated early next week. This
probability caused some buying of the Oregon
Stocks so that Oregon and Transccntinental fully
recovered yesterdays decline. Western Union was
more active and showed a better tone than for
some time past. New England was only moderate

An Iron Eating Worm

A German paper quoted by the Iron and Coal Trades Review of London, Eng, tells a story which, however inn probable, seems to have every appear ance of truth. The account Is given as follows: The existence has just been discovered of a detestable nIiorobe which feeds upon iron with as much gluttony as the phylloxera upon the vine. Some time ago the greatest consternatlon existed among the en- gineers employed on the railway at Hagen by the accidents occurring al ways at the same place, proving that some terrible defect must exist either in the material Of the Construction of the rails. The German Government directed an inquiry to be made, and 2 commission of surveillance to be formed for the purpose of maintain ing constant watch at the spot where the accidents had occurred It was not, however, until after six months had elapsed that the discovery was made. One of the employees had ob- served that the surface of the rails ap- peared 10 be corroded, as If by acid, to the extent of 100 yards. The raIl was taken up and broken, and it was per ceived that it was literally hollowed cut by thin gray worm, to winch the qualification of "railoverous' was as- signed, and by which name 1t Is to be classed in natural history. The worm is said to be two centimeters Tn length, and of the size of the prong of a silver fork In circumference. Itis of a light gray color, and on the head carries two little glands filled with a corro- sIve secretion, which is ejeeted every ten minutes upon the iron, This li- quid renders the iron soft and spongy, and of the color of rust, and it IS then greedlly devoured by. the insect. There is no exaggeration," says the official report of the calamity, ''in the assertion that this creature, for its size, is one of the most voracious kind, for it has devoured 36 kilograms of rails in fortnight v
